That's exactly what happened to beachgoers on Maui, one of Hawaii's largest islands, at the end of May.
While strolling along the sand, holidaymakers came across a small dog and its companion out for a walk.
An unusual friendship
The pair consisted of a Yorkshire Terrier and a tiny miniature pig. In fact, the little spotted pig was even smaller than the Yorkie! In the video below, you can see the two friends trotting along the water's edge. They barely glance at passers-by as they continue on their way.
At one point, the pig stumbles slightly and bumps into the little dog, who seems completely unfazed. The pair simply carry on with their walk, much to the delight of onlookers.
The stars of the beach
The video has racked up over 3.3 million views on TikTok. Like many viewers in the comments, we were initially concerned by the apparent absence of an owner.
However, we then spotted the dog's collar, and a man at the end of the video whistles to call the pooch back. The two animals immediately rush over to their owner. One thing is for sure: these two companions were the main attraction on the beach that day!
